The correct Answer is:
To rationalize the denominator of the expression \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We start with the expression: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Step 2: Find a common denominator The common denominator for \( \sqrt{6} \) and \( \sqrt{5} \) is \( \sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{30} \). We can rewrite each fraction with this common denominator. ### Step 3: Rewrite each term We can express each term with the common denominator: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{30}} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{30}} \] ### Step 4: Combine the fractions Now, we can combine the two fractions: \[ \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{30}} + \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{30}} = \frac{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{30}} \] ### Step 5: Rationalize the denominator To eliminate the square root in the denominator, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by \( \sqrt{30} \): \[ \frac{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{30}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{30}} = \frac{(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6}) \cdot \sqrt{30}}{30} \] ### Step 6: Final expression Thus, the rationalized form of the expression is: \[ \frac{\sqrt{30}(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6})}{30} \] ### Final Answer \[ \frac{\sqrt{30}(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6})}{30} \] ---
